What you should know

- [Instructor] To begin this course, you should have SketchUp Pro downloaded onto your computer. It is available for purchase from sketchup.com where a free 30 day trial is available, as well. This course is recorded using SketchUp Pro 2019. However, versions 2018 and 2017 will be compatible with this content, as well. I will be noting the differences between them as we move through the course. Upon opening SketchUp for the first time, you'll be prompted with a sign in screen and a space to add your license.

If you haven't added your license yet, you'll follow the prompts from the link below. Your license number is available in the email sent from SketchUp when you purchased your Pro license. If you'd like to sign into your account, use the Sign In button and follow the prompts. You can sign in using your Trimble ID or your Google ID. I'm going to go ahead and log in and open SketchUp. I will teaching the majority of the course on a Mac computer. However, there will be optional and additional content for Window users, as there are some differences between an Apple operating system and Windows operating systems in SketchUp.
